廻廻奇譚

Looping Occult Tale

All of these masses compose people
Oh, bluffs of strength, mental images and nonhuman creatures are all like specters
Without preconceived notions, they harbor life
and after that are hollow and half witted humans
 
Entrusted expectations, an unfair life
Having no talent, the Mahayana, the extraordinary
I've no personality treating both foes and friends alike
I recall memories, because there's nowhere I belong
 
I'm not to cry in the crevices of my dreams
and I know what face I should make
But still answer me!
 
Exorcise the darkness, exorcise the darkness
When the curtain of night falls, that'll be the cue
In the shape of a loop, this battle revolves as we are in opposition
"Spit out all that nonsense of yours!" you say
 
Don't yet hold back, don't yet hold back
My true form,
born in a town smarter than all the others
Now I'll just create my own cursed future, cursing it
 
By the time I run, fall, and embrace unfading pain
The world will have been waiting for this instant
 
With a bug, my lyrical emotions are unstable
A punishment for the flaw of obediently yielding to orders
Feeling impermanence in love that I have no choice but to protect to my death
I still can't voice it out
 
100 supernatural beings orderly parade at night, none vowing to be puppets
even to these ends linking ourselves together
Die peacefully going to paradise, reject reality, let it all calm down
Don't throw your life away
Immersed in my inner fragility,
I don't know what face to make
Now, just answer me!
 
Unravel the Gojou, unravel the Gojou
Those idea(l)s weave an uncertain voice, ah
They cancel each other out, and spin in the heart lines
Then I now give a helping hand to get back on your feet!
 
Just chase after it, chase after it
Wishing to be stronger than anybody else,
Even your own fate now just
falls deep into the obscure darkness of the night
 
Do I look awkward?
That's me right now.
I'm a corpse that just can't become anything. Laugh!
I've stopped even running away
from everything in front of me
Replaying an image in my mind,
It says "go beyond the limits of imagination"
 
Exorcise the darkness, exorcise the darkness
When the curtain of night falls, that'll be the cue
In the shape of a loop, this battle revolves as we are in opposition
"Spit out all that nonsense of yours!" you say
 
Don't hold back yet, don't hold back yet
My true form,
born in a town smarter than everyone else there
Now I'll just create my own cursed future, cursing it
 
By the time I run, fall, and embrace unfading pain
The world will have been waiting for this instant

Aaaaa
I hate this song this song is trauma.. More trauma... As for "All of these masses compose people
Oh, bluffs of strength, mental images and nonhuman creatures are all like specters" The translation with "The masses grow up" (Releska's) is infinitely more accurate
Without preconceives notions has 虚心, which can be read as mindless(ly), so because the spirits were mindless humans are too.
- this translation is in serious need of some touching up (but I'm reluctant to because Releska's translation was already more tidy...)

数珠つなぎ (juzutsunagi) or link themselves together (in the form of Job's tears/a rosary) puns on 呪術なき (To be without Jujutsu)

My translation was based on the original and correct lyrics of the song as well as Releska's, so I'm pretty sure they need no updating.

Your translation has a different layout from the base lyrics - 57 lines in the lyrics became 50 lines in your translation - so I'm pretty sure they do need some updates at least.
